A fix for an 'Open With: Not Applicable' errors
Authored by: emale on Aug 24, '04 11:29:11AM

When the desktop rebuilt under Classic helped, maybe it would be enough to delete the "Dektop DB" and "Dektop DF" at the top of your System hirearchy with the terminal? I don't know, but I would presume because the rebuilt within classic is nothing else as deleting them and create a new database...

A fix for an 'Open With: Not Applicable' errors

I had a similar problem (some files opening with their default applications or folder icons changing to other icons). I simply deleted the two Desktop database files (Desktop DB and Desktop DF) at the root of my startup disk and rebooted. This fixed the problem. I deleted these two files in the terminal by typing
sudo rm /Desktop\ DB /Desktop\ DF
.
